8 ideas for decorating a country wedding
1. A cozy space to decorate a country wedding
One of the most special moments of any wedding is the ceremony itself. In a country wedding, it’s best to take advantage of the natural beauty of the landscape to create a unique setting. An idea that always works is to place a wooden arch or branches, decorated with wildflowers and light fabrics in neutral tones like white or beige. This not only enhances the surroundings but also provides a perfect backdrop for photos and vows.
For guest seating, you can opt for wooden chairs, rustic benches, or even hay bales covered with soft blankets. These elements add a relaxed touch and are ideal for a country ambiance. To further personalize the space, add small bouquets of flowers or ribbons at the ends of the rows of seats.
2. The reception: outdoors or in a rustic tent
The reception area is where guests will spend the most time, so its decor is key. Weather permitting, an outdoor reception is an ideal option. A very practical alternative is to set up a large tent decorated with string lights suspended from the ceiling. For a country wedding, this type of lighting is not only functional but also creates a warm and romantic atmosphere, especially as night falls. At Mas Redortra, we have an indoor hall with a capacity for 150 people, which allows for this type of decoration..
3. The table: small aromatic details
Wooden tables are ideal for this type of wedding. You can decorate them with linen tablecloths in natural tones and centerpieces that include wooden logs, candles, or glass jars filled with wildflowers. For an even more rustic touch, tie the napkins with jute twine or sprigs of aromatic herbs like rosemary or lavender. These small details not only add beauty but also fill the air with pleasant aromas.

4. Lighting: a magical element
In rustic weddings, lighting is key to creating the desired ambiance. Besides string lights, you can use candles inside lanterns or glass jars scattered throughout the space. If there are trees, take advantage of them to hang small lights or paper lanterns. This type of lighting will add a magical touch and transform the space into a dreamlike setting as night falls..
5. Floral decoration with seasonal flowers
Flowers are an essential element at any wedding, but at a country wedding, they take center stage. To maintain harmony with the surroundings, it’s best to use seasonal and locally sourced flowers. They can decorate not only the tables, but also the ceremony arch, the bride and groom’s chairs, the banquet tables, and even the dessert table.
Another option is to incorporate dried flowers, which add a rustic touch and are a more sustainable alternative. Besides filling the decor with color and life, flowers can provide a special fragrance, especially if you include plants like lavender, rosemary, or mint.
6. Personalized and original details
A memory display with photos of the couple’s story, placed on wooden boxes or hung with clothespins on a string. It’s the little details that make a wedding truly special. In a country wedding, you can incorporate personalized elements such as handwritten signs with meaningful phrases, welcome tables with special messages, or small gifts for the guests. An original idea is to create a corner…
7. A rustic-style dessert table
The dessert table can also become a focal point of the decor. Use wooden crates, linen tablecloths, and details like flowers or fresh fruit to embellish it. The desserts can have a more artisanal style, such as rustic cookies, chocolate cakes with a natural finish, or sponge cakes decorated with edible flowers.
8. An unforgettable day surrounded by nature
Now that you know how to decorate a country wedding, it’s time to start planning your big day.
